Talking 03 X needs more power.

I love the way the tranny shifts. This is my first V8. Just to give u bit of history I had a civic del sol, Mazda rx-7 turbo, 3 Honda CBR's and now we have a Porshe boxster. Just want to show the need for speed I drive hard and the other day I put the X to the test racing an X sport on the high way. The sport for some reason and just a bit slower. I thaught for sure being lighter he would of past me. Oh BTW the race started cause he was a high beam flasher. He wanted me to go faster or move out of his way when I was doing 70mph. Geez you would think he would just pass me but no he had to stay behind and insist I moved for him so when he finally did try to pass i floored it keeping him in the right lane and having to get back behind me cause of cars in the right lane. God road rage is great and the auto dimming rear veiw mirror works nice too. After that little thing I decided I need more power. Has any one done anything to there new X's? I am thinking of the Diablo chip but with only 5000 miles I'm not sure if I should do anything yet.
